My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 790

Chapter 790: Upheaval

That night, Ayan stayed at Camille's place.

Under the pretense of accompanying and protecting her.

Camille didn't refuse.

Having him around indeed brought a sense of security, relieving her from overthinking or worrying.

However, Camille was unaware of the conversation Ayan had with Kian in the afternoon, so she had no idea what the current situation was.

The police had stopped contacting Camille, and as for Amber, they paid her a visit early the next morning.

The police wanted to gather more information from Amber.

Amber had barely slept the previous night, looking extremely worn out. She faced the police during the second round of questioning with no energy.

Her attitude was seen as uncooperative by the police, who issued a warning, "Miss Torres, if you continue with this attitude and response, we'll have no choice but to bring you to the police station for further investigation."

Amber's face darkened slightly as she replied, "I have nothing to do with this matter. Why do you keep coming to me? I've been greatly disturbed by all of this. I'm not the only one who has issues with Louise. Why don't you go find someone else? Are you afraid of the people behind her?"

The police officers present knew exactly whom she was referring to.

However, being police officers, they naturally followed the requirements of their supervisor and were not swayed by her words.

One of the officers responded, "You don't need to teach us how to do our job, Miss. You should just cooperate with us."

In the end, under the stern and firm attitude of the police, Amber had no choice but to cooperate.

After half an hour of questioning, the police left. Before leaving, they instructed Amber, "Miss Torres, we might need your cooperation in the coming days, so please keep your phone accessible and refrain from leaving Hance City for now."

Amber nodded absentmindedly, then immediately closed the door after they left.

Her expression was stiff, and she had no desire to stay in Hance City any longer. Being repeatedly questioned and investigated by the police had become incredibly tiresome.

She hadn't slept a wink the previous night, all because of this situation.

She detested Louise, who continued to haunt her even after death.

It was truly exasperating.

Amber tightly pursed her lips and suddenly made a decision.

She immediately turned and headed for the bedroom to pack her belongings. She would return to her hometown and come back after this matter was resolved.

Once Amber finished packing, she prepared to leave.

However, just before she left, she realized a problem. If she walked out with her luggage, she would surely be noticed.

After much hesitation, she put the clothes back into the wardrobe and instead grabbed a small everyday backpack, packing her valuable items. Then, she left.

Amber hailed a taxi and went straight to the train station, purchasing a ticket to her hometown.

She didn't want to endure this torment any longer. It was driving her to the brink of madness.

Camille learned about Amber's departure from a message in their group chat that afternoon.

Amber's colleagues couldn't reach her, but her assistant had previously visited the museum and struck up a good conversation with one of the architects, leaving their contact information. When the people from Amber's company went to her place, they discovered she was not there and immediately notified the police.

The investigation revealed that Amber had already left.

Upon seeing this message, Camille unconsciously shared it with Ayan, saying, "Amber just left like that. Is she feeling guilty?"

Ayan had gone to the company in the morning and returned at noon. In the afternoon, he stayed with Camille to take care of some work and to keep her company.

Glancing briefly at the message on her phone screen, he calmly responded, "She met Louise on the evening before the incident happened, but only she knows what they discussed about."

"Do you think she has a direct connection to this?"

"I don't know."

Camille put down her phone and propped her feet up on the couch, staring at Ayan with her chin resting in her hand. She looked at him intently and asked, "So there is something you don't know?"

When he came back in, Camille didn't ask.

But he brought it up on his own. "Curious about why I called Kian?"

"If you want to tell me, you will naturally."

He said calmly, "Amber's departure is likely due to fear, not guilt."

"Fear? What is she fearful of?"

"She's afraid she won't be able to withstand the police's repeated questioning and might say things she doesn't want to."

Camille furrowed her brows slightly and instantly understood what Ayan meant.

Their gazes met, and Ayan smiled faintly. "Do you understand what I mean?"

"So you had Kian go find Amber?"

"Not to find her, just to keep an eye on her. Then I'll release some information, and naturally, someone will come looking for Amber."

A coldness shimmered in Ayan's eyes. He hoped to resolve everything before the video Kian showed him yesterday was exposed.

Otherwise, he would have to waste more unnecessary time and energy dealing with this matter.

Ayan didn't tell Camille. He didn't want her to worry.

On the other side, Kian arrived at Amber's hometown on the same day, a small town near Hance City. Kian arranged for someone to keep an eye on Amber 24/7, ensuring the safety of Amber and her family. After taking care of these matters, he quickly reported to Ayan and prepared to return to Hance City.

However, at this moment, a video went viral online.

The content of the video was the same as what Kian showed Ayan-the footage of a man in a black car arriving at Louise's apartment.

It coincided with the time determined by the police regarding Louise's incident, so this man was closely connected to Louise's death.

Netizens and media reporters who saw the video and its content didn't expect it to be related to the man in the footage. The internet was in an uproar.
